Keep. People venerated as saints by major churches are clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This pre-Vatican martyr never came through a formal Canonization process. All the the sources about him are literally a word or two. I’m not even sure if he really existed. There’s no evidence of a cultus. Bearian (talk) 10:02, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It's quite probable he didn't exist, but that's not unusual for early Christian saints, few of whom ever went through a formal canonisation process. It's whether he's venerated that's significant, and he clearly is, even if not that commonly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Lorgius (Lorgio in Italian, or "San Lorgio" which works as a search term for him) is certainly a venerated saint, with churches named after him. Multiple sources exist supporting this. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:01, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge what limited content we have to Martyrs of Caesarea. While it does appear that there is some veneration of him, I can't find any records of churches named after him. He receives a single mention in the index of Basil Watkins' encyclopedia of saints and he and the other Caesarea martyrs receive a single mention in Aeterna Press's book of saints, which says "Little to nothing is known of these saints, and even their names are uncertain." There's no WP:SIGCOV of this saint to meet WP:GNG, but redirecting is a reasonable alternative to deletion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Martyrs of Caesarea per Dclemens1971. He is verifiable as venerated saint (if not as an historical figure) but there is so little info that a sentence in the broader article is all that's really appropriate. Eluchil404 (talk) 22:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect as above - saints of major churches are notable. Ingratis (talk) 08:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
